Patrick Mahomes injures left knee in Chiefs' dramatic loss to Chargers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to be helped
to the locker room after hurting his left knee while trying to rally his team
against the Los Angeles Chargers, when a loss would have eliminated them from
playoff contention.
The Chiefs were trailing 16-13 with just under two minutes to go when Mahomes
scrambled toward the Kansas City sideline, threw the ball away and was spun to
the ground by Chargers defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand.
Mahomes immediately grabbed his left knee, which appeared to hyperextend as he
was going to the ground. He was taken to the blue injury tent on the Kansas
City sideline, then helped to the locker room with a towel over his head.
Gardner Minshew entered the game and was intercepted by Derwin James with 14
seconds remaining to lock up the Chiefs' loss.
